Northern Europe took on pastry-making after the Crusaders brought it back from the Mediterranean. French and Italian Renaissance chefs eventually perfected the Puff and Choux pastries, while 17th and 18th century chefs brought new recipes to the table. These new pastries included brioche, Napoleons, cream puffs, andair eclairs. French chef Antonin Careme reportedly was the first to incorporate art in pastry making. / **A large, heavy book.
